Pours a very clear copper/orange with a small filmy white head. Aroma is medium sweet, very fruity with a good deal of sweet malt and grapefruity hops present. The flavor is very fruity, peach, mango and grapefuit offset by a nice spicy bitterness and just a slight alcohol burn. Medium to full bodied, sticky texture. Very dry finish. The one knock I would give this beer is the missing Mikkeller input, seems more like a 3F brew than a Mikkellar one.

T: Plenty of malts, fudge and big caramel flavors. Prominent taste of red grapefruit, citric notes and some pine-needles. Some hops and grass. The sweetness and bitterness are very integrated and mixes well. The finish is rather bitter with lingering notes of fruity hops and some warming alcohol.

M: Medium body with a smooth texture. Gentle carbonation.

D: A very good beer and it really came out as showcasing good craftsmanship. Well balanced. But still, I'm glad I drank it now and didn't cellar it longer since I got the feeling that the hops have started to fade. The taste of caramel was already prominent and it seems to me that the hops might have been more prominent when it was really fresh. And I think that more time in the cellar will result in a loss of hop flavors and a less balanced brew with sweet caramel as the main component. Although I really enjoyed it, I don't think it managed to meet my high expectations, considering the quality of the two breweries that created it.

22oz bomber. The second collaboration with Mikkeller pours into my glass a deep, vibrant red/orange with a creamy inch of off white foam on top leaving trails of sticky lace. Aromas start with big resinous citric hops. Pine moves in as well with a touch of tropical fruit and herbal swirls. Caramel and toffee dominates the big malt background with an almost candy like sweetness to it as well.

First sip brings an upfront blast of bold citric hops cavorting with a slick, smooth caramel malt that has accents of toffee as well. The oats come through quite prominently as it rolls down along with a mix of pine and tropical fruit flavors. Big bitterness hits on the way down. Floral, grassy and herbal on the finish with a mild lingering sweetness and really no hint of the alcohol. Oats really smooth this out. Good show.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied, smooth and creamy. The quality I call slickness from the oats really shines here making this an incredibly easy drinking beer given the abv. Spot on carbonation as well. I will enjoy the rest of this bottle and I wouldn't mind seeing more examples of oatwine's in the future. Cheers to Three Floyds and Mikkeller. Dial down the alcohol a bit and this would be sessionable!

The beer pours an orangish-amber color with a white head. The aroma is a mix of honey, flowers, oranges, citrus and caramel malt. It smells about like a barleywine. The flavor is a great mix of toffee, caramel and orange citrus. It tastes like some of the better, hoppier American Barleywines that I have tried. I don't get too much oat character in the beer, but it is still very nice. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

(Served in a snifter)A- This beer pours a clear but dense reddish-orange body with a stream of tiny bubbles racing from the base of the glass to a thick creamy off-white head that sticks to the glass with each sip.

S- The big pungent juicy green hops smell of pineapple weed and green herbs with a faint tangerine quality coming through stronger as it warms a bit. There is a faint musty smell at the finish which is nice.

T- This beer has a big pungent pineapple weed taste with a soft light malt sweetness supporting it. The finish is a big herbal bitterness with a faint mint quality and a grapefruit pith flavor growing as the beer warms. The mellow dandelion bitterness lingers after each sip for a bit.

M- This beer has a light mouthfeel with no alcohol heat until it is really warm and a dry finish that enhances the hop even more.

D- This beer has a huge punishing hops profile, go figure, which I typically like and there was a faint funk quality to them aswellas a good depth to the complexity. However, that was all there was, there was very little malt profile at all. This beer would have been nice in a 12 oz. bottle but the bomber left my tongue begging for something different and the price tag left quite a dent in my wallet aswell.

Expectations were for a heavier richer mix, and was surprised but not disapointed by the cuvee concoction that poured out. A fine ale, with a bit of sourness, dry but not overally drying. It grew on me, particularly after putting into fridge to get it colder from the top of cellar temperature range. About average mouthfeel.

Fluffy white head over an orange/ copper body. Sticky beer with excellent lacingCitrus from the obvious hop presence as well as vanilla and a semi familiar candy aroma. Sweet but not cloying. Some grapefruit rind as well as the same familiar candy/vanilla aftertaste. Nice mouthfeel, slightly syrupy with good carbonation. A very good beer with an extremely pleasant after taste.

smell: pungent hops, the hops 3 floyds is known for...bubblegum, citrus bouquet, lemon and orange zest, tropical and floral...smells like a sexy DIPA

taste: this beer is awesome but if it was bottled as a DIPA, i'm not sure anyone would have noticed the difference...also kind of seems like this beer resembles the 3F work much more than mikkeller. this one will blow you away with fresh and flavorful hops, tropical fruit, pink grapefruit, floral green hops, lemon zest, tropical citrus, booze

A: Cooper in color, which looks more of a brighter orange when held into the light. A thin head forms and dissipates quickly. Leaves minimal lacing along the glass as I drink it.

S: Smells a LOT like a good barleywine, which I love. Strong bitter smell from the hops and sweet maltiness and grains. A very strong sweetness in the nose, kinda like honey, caramel, or toffee. I sense a little booze, too ;)

T: Follows the nose to a point. Strong bitterness upfront with a malted backbone and slight booziness. The bitterness and sweetness are well balanced. I am really enjoying this.

M: Very full and a little creamy. Very pleasing.

D: For such a high abv, I'd say it is fairly drinkable and definitely tasty. Couldn't do a whole bomber to myself though.

Bottle via trade thanks to dug. Shared at a tasting with some BA and RB people. WTF, man, this was labeled as an oatwine, but it was beer, not wine! They should have called it an "oatwine-style ale" or something instead. Just kidding. Bad joke, I know.

Pours a clear deep reddish-amber color with a small off-white head and decent lacing.

Presentation: Poured from 1 22 oz. brown bomber into a Duvel chalice. The next installment in my continuing love/hate relationship with FFF. Sometimes great beer, many times poor quality control bottled messes. Label depicts a helmeted skull,flanked by American and Danish flags. No freshness date. Description on the label is in Danish?

Pours with 1 1/2 fingers of light tan head. This settles to a thin, nearly complete coating of foam with a more substantial island in the middle above the point of nucleation. Some spidery lacing. The beer itself is a clear orange amber. No sediment remains in the bottle.

Smell: Mild hints of cherries upfront, as in many barleywines, but more subdued. Backed by a distinct wheat twang and alcohol sweetness.

Taste: Almost sour twang upfront blends with a honey sweetness. Hop bitterness then begins, and last well after the swallow.

Mouthfeel: Average carbonation level. Body is very good; substantial with a slight slickness.

Drinkability: Can't say that I have ever had a wheat wine before, but I life this. The alcohol, sweetness, and bitterness expected from a barleywine with a little extra bite of sourness from the wheat.

22 oz. Bright enough orange/amber pour. Small amount of off white head forms a thin layer and sticks to the glass nice as well.Quite piney and floral aroma. Hints of citrus, caramel covered apple.Taste is very balance malt sweetness, caramel, and citrus, apple white grape. Some ash and earthy tones later. This increased as it warmed. There is a lingering piney hopness through the finish, but otherwise the hops have really mellowed in this, if they were strong at first.It is a little warm, but doesn't seem tough to drink. Pretty sticky, medium body with light carbonation.Pleasant, really middle of the road, nothing too extream other than the high abv. Wheatwine is a strange bird, I'd say this is adequate for the style, which I have a hard time getting my hands around. Oatwine doesn't seem to be much different. Nice to try though.

22 ounce bottle. Served in a snifter, the beer pours an orange/copper color with about a half-inch off-white head which went away pretty quickly. Not much lacing, either. It smells like grassy and citrusy (grapefruit) hops, caramel malt, and brown sugar. Nice mix of sweetness and hoppiness in the aroma. The taste is similar to the aroma but there's a bit of tropical fruit noticable too. The hops flavors are stronger than the malty ones at first, but then it balances out and the flavor gets even better once the beer warms up. There's also a nice lingering bitter hoppy finish. Mouthfeel/body is medium/full, it's creamy and coating and has decent carbonation. It's smooth and easy to drink, but the alcohol does catch up to you after a while. I think it's a good overall beer, it's pricey but definitely worth trying.

Bottle: Poured a slightly hazy bright orangey color ale with a nice off-white foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with different cereal notes (probably oat) then what I was expecting. Taste is dominated by loads of sweet caramelized notes offset by some cereal. Body is above average with good carbonation. Interesting though I am not sure I need to drink oat wine on a regular basis.

Barley wine, Wheat wine, and now Oat wine. A good pour gets three fingers of resilient and rocky tan head that is super tight. Hangs around a long time and leaves a swiss cheese like lace as it fades. Body is a mahogany amber in tone. Nose is sweet with dark over ripe fruit, dark rich vibrant malts which are rustic in style. A hint of alcohol and hops are in the smell also. With first sip I get a jammy fruit sweetness like fruit schnapps. Hops act to balance the sweetness and end up adding a sappy marmalade like feel. Flavor is so interesting and unique. I would love to see how this beer ages in 2 or 3 years, but it is just so expensive at $16 a bottle. Mouthfeel has a nice mingling of the dark fruits and hops which is attractive. Wonderfully drinkable at 10.4% alcohol.
